Diagnostics at Time of Intervention

Date: May 7, 2014

Question:

I was taught that if an intervention was done after venography and access I should code only the intervention. I seem to have come across some confusion with this. I think I understand that if intervention was done on one leg, and just venography done on the other leg, I can bill the venography for the other leg separately, and just the intervention on the other extremity. Can you please give me some guidance as to how these are to be billed?
